British Phycological Journal, 1992 Seaweed dispersal is discussed in relation to the properties of the propagules, the parent plant and the water motion. The magnitude of water flow velocities is overwhelmingly important. Even motile propagules have little control over their destiny. The fate of both liberated propagules and drifting plants is discussed in relation to dispersal distance

Microphytobenthos and benthic macroalgae determine sediment organic matter composition in shallow photic sediments [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Microphytobenthos and benthic macroalgae play an important role in system metabolism within shallow coastal bays. However, their independent and interactive influences on sediment organic matter (SOM) are not well understood.

Diverse Applications of Marine Macroalgae [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 The aim of this paper is to review the multiplicity of the current uses of marine macroalgae. Seaweeds are already used in many products and for different purposes, from food products to medicine. They are a natural resource that can provide a number of compounds with beneficial bioactivities like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging effects ...

Early evidence of microplastics on seagrass and macroalgae
, 2020 Microplastic accumulation on marine macrophytes, such as macroalgae and seagrasses, is a potentially critical but overlooked pathway by which microplastics enter the marine food web.

Therapeutic Uses of Red Macroalgae [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 Red Seaweed “Rhodophyta” are an important group of macroalgae that include approximately 7000 species. They are a rich source of structurally diverse bioactive constituents, including protein, sulfated polysaccharides, pigments, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and phenolic compounds with nutritional, medical, and industrial importance.

Photosynthesis rates of seagrass and macroalgae measured in situ by pulse-amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesPhotosynthesis, a fundamental process, sustains coastal vegetated ecosystem services. Pulse-Amplitude Modulated fluorometry was a non-invasive method used to assess the photosynthetic efficiency of seagrass and macroalgae in dynamic coastal environments.

Introduced macroalgae — A growing concern [PDF]
Journal of Applied Phycology, 2006 Introductions of non-indigenous species to new ecosystems are one of the major threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services. Globally, species introductions may lead to biotic homogenisation, in synergy with other anthropogenic disturbances such as climate change and coastal pollution. Successful marine introductions depend on (1) presence
